i've been on a creative binge lately. remember this skirt? well i made another one and i am *loving* this fabric combo.a friend of mine recently had a baby shower as well, and i made her babe a sock monkey outfit. excuse the poor pic quality.my model.the cute scalloped hem on the pants.yes, that is drool all over the sock monkey's face and you can't see his eyes very well in this pic, but you get the idea.

i made her a couple matching bibs too but forgot to take pics of them :(

i bought some flannel to make nathan a pair of pajama bottoms, got home and started cutting, and realized that i didn't have enough. i *did* however have enough to make sam a pair. as soon as i get more fabric daddy will have a matching pair :)"camping" jammie bottoms

i also made a pair of gray corduroy ruffle pants and a pillowcase dress for katie, as soon as i get pics i'll post those!

today was back to school for austin--9th grade?! are you kidding me? that is still in the junior high here where we live but he is still considered a "freshman". yikes.

and katie started kindergarten today. yeah, you know those parents who are all teary and weepy as they drop off their kindergartener? yeah, that's NOT me. i was like "whoooo-hoooo! 2 down, 1 to go!" LOL well, not *totally*.....i did get a little teary-eyed at one point as mrs. vasquez read "the kissing hand" to her new class of kindergarteners. it is about a little raccoon who doesn't want to go to school. his mama raccoon kisses the palm of his hand so he can carry her love with him all the time. ♥
